It’s finally beginning to feel like fall here in the Midwest. Last week’s heatwave has thankfully left us, and after a few stormy days, we are now blessed with sunny skies and temps in the mid 70’s – perfection in my book!

So it’s been just over two weeks now… it’s getting a little easier to deal with now during the day, but it’s still hard.

And just like that, it’s August again! It feels like July just flew by. We started out the month with a quick family trip to Branson, MO – which was fun… but not for us. We stopped by the Tiger Sanctuary and Meramec Caverns on the way home and the kids loved both of those. Honestly,

I’ve had at least one little in going to that school for the past four years… and now there will be a 2 year gap – and only one of the teachers that my kids had will be there when we return. While it will be odd not having anyone to bring to preschool, I’m really looking forward to spending more quality time alone with Michael!

Building and maintaining a website takes quite a bit of work… work that’s not always noticeable just by visiting the site. I’ve been working behind the scenes quite a bit over the past few months… changing the theme and layout, adding the shop and then slowly filling it with products. Most recently I did this…
